Very nice mate!! As I've said before, I'd not have the courage to have one done (not pain, more thinking about work and wife's comments; LOL).... Richard:thumbup1:

Hollowpoint ~ issued with permanent ban from the club and loss of all benefits. The committee of 300zx.co.uk has given serious consideration in whether to take any action following the vicious and hateful online attack over on zxclub.net that Gary Wilson was subjected to from Hollowpoint. Not to mention Hollowpoint’s further vitriolic and spiteful insults levied at further members of the 300zx.co.uk committee and moderators. This particular episode was unprovoked as Gary did no more than post over there, that he believed his name had been called into question; he did not incite any trouble and Hollowpoint just launched into a vile and nasty tirade of abuse. Hollowpoint failed to respect any attempt of a complaint against him and continued using puerile and profane language; culminating in stooping so low as to wish certain people (Gary for one) dead. We are disappointed that no action was taken against Hollowpoint other than a simple warning "not to do it again;" when such atrocious behaviour is clearly against their club’s AUP. We are further disappointed that Hollowpoint showed no remorse for his outburst and, quite blatantly, has no intention of offering an apology. In fact he seems to take not being apologetic with pride. Hollowpoint's venomous attitude towards our club was compounded today in a thread from TonyB on .net wishing Vodkashots well after his recent accident - Hollowpoint clearly displays his hatred of us. Whilst these events did not take place on the 300zx.co.uk ‘site; Hollowpoint was nonetheless a member of our club so the committee has decided that he is no longer welcome here. Therefore he is to be permanently banned from this club with immediate effect. He the right to appeal and should e-mail me within 7 days; I will post any developments in here. Richard For the committee

Happy birthday mate - I hope you have a great day!! Richard:punk::clap:

Nice bike Colin!! Richard:thumbup1:

True mate - but the quote is £2000-odd plus VAT on top of everything; so the garage is right to quote all the parts without VAT (you're right about them missing the delivery though) as they would otherwise be adding VAT to a price that already included VAT...... TBH Ian, I reckon I'd go along with that as well. It's a much easier option and when you get the cash, just get yourself another, less troublesome, ZX..... Good luck in whatever youdecide mate! Richard:thumbup1:

Hi Nick, thanks for your support mate! AndyP is club treasurer and he's the fella with access to the bank and paypal account..... So once he's seen your funds arrive, you'll be activated!! Any problems please let me know, Cheers, Richard:thumbup1:

Sorry to hear that Ian - are you still planning to keep the car now mate....? Richard:crying:

Happy birthday - have a great day!! Richard:thumbup1:

Many happy returns mate!! Richard:thumbup1:

Welcome to the club Jamie - and as soon as AndyP confirms receipt of yoru details you'll be activated mate!! Richard:thumbup1:

Me neither mate - but I reckon I would happily be up for testing that theory if someone wanted to advance me £10m......:biggrin:

Welcome to the club Nick - this place is the font of all 300zx knowledge..... .....and we are lucky enough to have the 300zx guru himself (JeffTT) on hand if things get serious!! Richard:thumbup1:

Dead right mate!!

LOL - I know......:laugh:

I'm not either - I'm on here...!! TBH I have no interest in watching it - I'm not anti-it or anything so cynical - it's just that I am not bothered by all the fuss!! Richard:yinyang:

Nice and shiney - it's looking good mate!!! Richard:thumbup1:

I agree with you Allan...... ....and I'd do a similar thing Dean as £1m is not enough to retire on now - and the interest nowadays wouldn't amount to much anyway.... .....so I'd clear the mortgage for one; buy a new SLK and a modest house in Cornwall (which I'd rent out as a holiday let until I was ready to move down there myself) and just carry on as normal..... Richard:biggrin:
